PAGE ONE -- 8 Killed In Harlem -- Arson / Gunman among dead
1995-12-09 04:00:00 PDT New York -- Eight people in a Harlem clothing store were killed yesterday in a fierce blaze that police believe was deliberately set as part of bitter landlord-tenant dispute that led to angry protests in the neighborhood.
Among the dead was a man police suspect set fire to the store.
The fire consumed the building on Harlem's main thoroughfare, 125th Street, shortly after a tall gunman, waving a revolver, burst into Freddie's Fashion Mart across the street from the storied Apollo Theater.
Police said last night they believed the gunman was one of a group of demonstrators who had picketed the store in recent weeks in a dispute over the threatened eviction of a subtenant, the Record Shack, a neighborhood institution.
Police say the gunman, whom they did not identify, was found dead with a revolver in his hand, reeking of accelerant, a flammable liquid. Beside him was a white container that officials believe held the accel
erant. Four other people were shot in the incident and escaped from the store before the fire enveloped it.
According to officials and residents of the neighborhood, the fire followed a months-long dispute that involved the owner of the building, a black Baptist congregation called the United House of Prayer; the owner of the clothing store, Fred Harari; and Sikhulu Shange, owner of the neighboring Record Shack.
Shange, a South African black whose shop has specialized in blues, Motown, African and Caribbean music for more than 20 years, was being evicted as a subtenant of Harari, apparently at the instigation of the church, according to Mayor Rudolph Giuliani.
In the past several weeks, there have been a dozen or so pickets outside Freddie's, urging a boycott of the store because they believed it did not employ blacks and was behind the eviction of Shange's business.
The commander of the 28th Precinct, Deputy Inspector Joyce Stephen, said the Police Department, in addition to sending uniformed officers to monitor the pickets, had opened a racial bias investigation of an incident that arose during the protesting November 29.
Stephen said a security guard told the police that one of the demonstrators had said, "We're going to burn and loot the Jews."
Giuliani and Police Commissioner William Bratton rushed to the scene yesterday. The mayor, while saying that the investigation focused on the protests against the clothing store, also urged New Yorkers not to rush to judgments about the case.
At the same time, the Rev. Al Sharpton, who helped to sponsor the protests against the clothing store, criticized the investigators for quickly linking the conflagration to the protests.
Because of the intensity of the fire, it took more than two hours before firefighters could reach the inside of the gutted store.
Besides the gunman, they found three bodies huddled together in a back room on the first floor and four more bodies clustered together in the basement.
The police and Medical Examiner's office said seven victims apparently died of smoke inhalation. But it was unclear whether the gunman died of smoke inhalation or the single bullet wound he suffered.
In the early moments of the confrontation, police say, the gunman fired on two police officers who arrived on the scene, but Bratton said a preliminary check of the weapons of the police officers on the scene indicated that their guns had not been fired.
Of the four people wounded in the gunfire, the police said three of them were listed in critical condition.
The police said the gunman was carrying an identification card with the name Aboudima Moulika, and an address on Mount Morris Park West. But they are not sure whether that is his true identity. Detectives went to the address and said residents there had never heard of him and did not recognize the person in the photograph.
"We're confident he was not known at that location," said a detective involved in the investigation.
The day began like any other for the dozen or so workers in Freddie's. There were construction crews working on a store expansion and a $5 million renovation of the church.
Suddenly, their ordinary world exploded into chaos and confusion, gunfire, flames and death. A man walked into the store, kicked over a table, sloshed the flammable liquid around, shouted for people to get out, and then began shooting.
At 10:12 a.m., Bratton said, a passer-by on 125th Street told two officers from the 28th Precinct who were walking a regular patrol beat that a tall man with a gun had gone into the store.
As they raced into the store, the man was shooting. Three wounded people were helped out of the store, but one of the officers was pinned down, trapped inside. More police, some from the neighboring 25th Precinct, responded to the call for backup, and they got the officer out unhurt, the commissioner said.
At St. Luke's Hospital, where the three badly wounded victims, all men, were taken, Dr. Kevin V. Sanborn, the associate director of anesthesiology, said that one of them had said that "a man came into the store and started the fire right away and as people tried to escape, the man started to fire at them."
Across the street, Thomas Pierre, a voter registration worker, glanced out his third-floor office window when he heard sirens and shots, and he saw police rushing up and man dressed like a construction worker staggering out of the building in pain.
"Suddenly the whole front went up in flames," Pierre said. "It started just like that."

Wake The Line Wrap Up
After a win at the Fise Montpellier in France last May, RAPH Derome again shocked the World of Rail Shredding in Cologne, Germany, winning the RED BULL Wake the Line .
Wake the Line is ONE of the Highest ranked rail tournaments in the world, where the best RAIL masters are invited to prove who is the best. The set up was a 3 pools length with rails, a wall and a kicker, pulled with the SYSTEM 2.o.
Raph was very impressive in practice and kept the momentum up to the final. The toughest heat he had to go through was against his own brother Oliver, well known for his talent on rails. Raph when on to meet Kevin Henshaw the Liquid force flex-board represent, and in the final heat we saw Raph edge out Nico Lencherfeld.
This tournament included shredders like Shawn Watson (3rd), Tom Fooshee, Olivier Derome, Parks Bonifay, Mark Rossiter, Nate Perry, Daniel Fetz, Bernhard Hinterberger (last year's winner) and many others .
In the Wakeskate division were 10 top world ranked riders met to see Yann Kissmen edging out Ben Horan in the final battle of the day.

CORRECTION: Bernhard was NOT last year's winner….get your facts straight before posting an article about a professional sport and not even mentioning the TRUE rail rider…Keith Lidberg

Old RNC vs. New GOP – Upholding the Constitution
May 3, 2010
The battle lines for the future of America 's conservative party have been drawn, though not all that clearly yet. It is the old RNC and their loyal guard, against the new GOP made up of constitutionally conservative activists across the country, currently moving into power precinct-by-precinct via operations like National Precinct Alliance (NPA).
A recent column in the Columbus Dispatch opened with these fearful pearls of wisdom – "A deeply involved Republican from northwestern Ohio called last week with a tip: The Tea Party is trying to take over the Ohio Republican Party Central Committee and, if successful, will oust state party Chairman Kevin DeWine. - If she's right and that happens, the Ohio GOP will die."
Dispatch Senior Editor Joe Hallett explains his concern – "The primary job of a party chairman is to raise the millions needed to pay rent, utilities and staff, support candidates and win elections. - If the Tea Party takes over the state party's governing board and installs one of its own as chairman, money likely would dry up."
Joe could be right… However, this is part of the fundamental problem with the old RNC as it stands and in part, why there is a real need for a new GOP platform revival.
The RNC has been wrongly loyal to the dollar instead of their core constituency. The RNC endorses whichever candidate brings the most money to the RNC table, instead of whichever candidate best represents the will of their constituents, and as a result, much of the old RNC funding dried up long before the first Tea Party event.
The old RNC is on the ropes… not because of constitutional conservatives looking for constitutionally minded leaders, but because the RNC sold its conservative soul for the almighty dollar years ago and it is almost indistinguishable from the Democratic Socialists across the aisle today.
For constitutionally conservative patriots, the GOP is either a conservative party or a party no longer of any use to American patriots. Our nation already has a global socialist party in the DNC. We don't need two global socialist parties. We need a real alternative, not just a lesser evil option.
In the four months since National Precinct Alliance burst onto the political scene, they have trained more than 60,000 citizens what a precinct chair is, how to get one and why you want one. This is exactly what the RNC of old is crying about, new energetic conservative blood in the tired old conservative party.
"In most precincts across the country, we have been welcomed with open arms by folks that have had little luck in bringing new conservative blood into the local precincts in recent years." – said NPA National Director Phil Glass
"But in liberal strongholds, we have indeed met with resistance from old RNC committee folks who think they have to run liberal Republicans in order to compete with socialist Democrats in their areas." - "In some cases, we have seen the old RNC leaders go so far as to break the law in efforts to keep new people out of their good-ole-boy clubs. But this has been a somewhat rare occurrence so far and we anticipated some of this…" – Glass said.
"Tea party activists in Ohio are angry at the Ohio Republican Party, saying it is using its resources to keep them from winning seats on the state GOP's 66-member central committee in the May 4 primary." – from an April 18th story at Cincinnati.com titled - Tea party activists call foul on GOP…
Hallett puts a fine point on the matter – "DeWine's biggest challenge since taking over as [Ohio GOP] chairman 15 months ago has been to keep the party and its candidates in the mainstream, to avoid drifting too far right of Ohio's mostly centrist voters. The Tea Party isn't making that any easier for him."
Based upon all recent polling data concerning public dissent against the Obama Administration and the Democrat controlled congress, editorialists like Hallett may be making a huge mistake in referring to "Independent" voters as "centrist" voters.
With more than 70% of Americans opposed to the leftist policies coming out of Washington DC today, convincing me that Independents are "centrist voters" is a tough sell.
The Democrat controlled Congress has set new records for low approval ratings and Obama's approval ratings have almost flip-flopped since his inauguration only fourteen months ago. It isn't just so-called "right-wing extremists" who oppose Obammunism…
Most Americans believe that the nation is headed in the wrong direction and only 28% of voters say they trust anyone in Washington DC today. If that doesn't spell out the need for REAL CHANGE, nothing does.
Still, the old RNC power-brokers are struggling to retain control of the GOP and they don't like their little cabal being "infiltrated" with new energetic conservative blood that threatens their personal positions of political power.
The battle for the future of America is currently being waged in a power-struggle for control of the GOP.
Whether talking party politics or national politics, the debate is the same however. The people have but two choices, self-governance or tyrannical governance.
Self-governance takes place at the local precincts, in a ground-up Representative Republic. If you want to self-govern, you have to do it at the precinct level.
If you fail to self-govern at your local precinct, you will be governed by others.
The future of the United States largely hangs in the balance of the ongoing struggle for "the people's" control of the GOP.
Before the people can regain control of the nation, they have to regain control of at least one of the two political parties. As is evidenced by every related poll, the GOP platform is more closely aligned with average American sentiments of individual freedom and liberty, smaller government and lower taxes, and it is also the party ripe for the taking at the moment.
In the end however, the people should control both political parties, for if they don't, it is not a representative republic.

The Homestand From Hell: Avs beat Caps 3-2
No goal. (Photo credit: Mitchell Layton)
EVEN LATER UPDATE 12/12 1PM: Per Bob McKenzie, Alex Semin has been fined for his crosscheck on COL's John-Michael Liles, and will play tonight against NYR.
UPDATE 12/11 11:50PM: Dmitry Chesnokov heard that Alex Semin will not be suspended.
Let's get the hell out of town. The Washington Capitals have lost five games in a row, four of them at home base. The Colorado Avalanche brought their fast-paced offense to town as Washington tried to re-awake theirs. Despite showing more effort than in recent games, the Caps failed to stop, drop, shut em' down, open up shop.
Kevin Shattenkirk got lucky with an early goal that Michal Neuvirth should have stopped. Mike Knuble responded with his 250th career goal, a typical Knuble score from inches out. Tom Poi was woefully out of position, allowing Ryan Wilson to waltz in and score the go-ahead goal. Piling on was Paul Stasny, who converted on the powerplay. Matt Hendricks launched a comeback with a no-looker from the crease, but the home team ran out of time. Avs beat Caps 3-2.

Post subject: New York-Style Cheesecake Made In France
As an expat American living in France, there are some things culinary from home I truly miss. A good burrito for example, or real barbecue. Another on my list for so long was New York-style cheesecake. So I made it my mission to recreate it here in France, and finding the substitute for American cream cheese was the key. One day by chance I discovered "Caprice des Anges" and I was on my way. When I found a graham cracker substitute, I was there.
New York-Style Cheesecake, made in France
Graham Cracker Crust
1 cup graham cracker crumbs (4 ounces or 8 whole crackers, broken into rough pieces and processed in food processor until uniformly fine). Use McVitie's Digestive Biscuits from England, found at many hypermarches, InterMarche carries them.
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus additional 1-tablespoon melted butter for greasing pan
Cheesecake Filling
600 grams Caprice des Anges ( 3 Packages)
1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon table salt
1 tablespoon corn starch
½ cup crème fraiche
2 teaspoons lemon juice from 1 lemon
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 large eggs
For the crust:
Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 325 degrees (160 degrees C). Combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar in medium bowl; add 5 tablespoons melted butter and toss with fork until evenly moistened. Brush bottom and sides of 9-inch springform pan with the remaining melted butter. Empty crumbs into springform pan and press evenly into pan bottom using the flat bottom of a quarter-cup measuring cup.
For the cheesecake filling:
In stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat Caprice des Anges cheese at low speed to break up and soften slightly, Less than1 minute. Scrape beater and bottom and sides of bowl well with rubber spatula; add salt, corn starch and about half of sugar and beat at low speed until combined, about a minute. Scrape bowl; beat in remaining sugar until combined. Scrape bowl; add crème fraiche, lemon juice, and vanilla, and beat at low speed until combined, about 1 minute all total. Scrape bowl; add eggs one at a time and beat at low speed until thoroughly combined. Scrape bowl after each egg is added. The goal is to accomplish this in little time, at low speed, so you don't beat too much air into the mixture, which causes it to rise too much.
Brush sides of springform pan with any remaining melted butter. Set springform pan on rimmed baking sheet (to catch any spills if springform pan leaks). Pour filling into crust and bake for about* 1 hour. Transfer cake to wire rack and cool 5 minutes; run paring knife between cake and side of springform pan. Cool until barely warm, 3 hours. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
To unmold cheesecake, remove sides of pan. Slide thin metal spatula between crust and pan bottom to loosen, then slide cake onto serving plate. Let cheesecake stand at room temperature about 30 minutes, then cut into wedges and serve.
*The cake should be set except in the center, where it should wiggle. It will continue to cook out of the oven. Do not overbake, or it will crack. Even if it's done perfectly, it may still crack, in which case, you can cover it with with fresh fruit or fruit conserves.

Thanks for the recipe ExpatSteve. The best cheesecake I've ever tasted was one made with Philadelphia cream cheese and if I remember correctly I ate it at the Carnegie Deli in New York.
I'm going to try out your recipe on the weekend

It is so funny, because I have been trying to buy McVitie's digestive biscuits here in the U.S. and I can only find them covered with chocolate, which for me is unacceptable. I bet they would make a good graham cracker crust.

ALAMO — A California Highway Patrol officer is on life support and his assailant dead following a traffic stop on crowded Interstate 680 Tuesday morning that became violent as hundreds of commuters drove past.
As traffic eased south on Interstate 680 in Alamo at 8:20 a.m., Officer Kenyon Youngstrom was shot through the neck after pulling over a Jeep Wrangler on the shoulder of the freeway, police said. Moments later, a second CHP officer who had pulled up behind the jeep shot the man in his vehicle and aided the injured officer until emergency medical crews arrived, said Contra Costa sheriff's spokesman Jimmy Lee.
Youngstrom, a 37-year-old married father of four, was taken to John Muir Medical Center and was listed in critical condition as of Tuesday night with what KGO-TV described as a severed spinal cord.
Flowers were placed outside the two-story home of the officer in Cordelia, near Fairfield, as CHP colleagues came by to support the family. A man who answered the door at his home declined to be interviewed.
The officer's family "asked for everyone's prayers as Officer Youngstrom fights for his life," Paul Fontana, assistant chief of the CHP, said in a brief statement Tuesday night.
Youngstrom graduated from the academy in 2005 and worked mostly in the Martinez regional office, having been assigned to the Contra Costa office immediately after graduation. Before joining the CHP, Youngstrom served in the U.S. Army Reserve, Fontana said.
The assailant, who later died at the same hospital, was not identified, pending family notification.
The investigation shut down the major East Bay artery, snarling traffic on highways and neighborhood streets throughout Central Contra Costa for most of the day.
The shooting was the first serious line-of-duty incident for Bay Area CHP officers since 32-year-old John P. Miller died after slamming into a tree while pursuing a suspected drunken driver in Livermore on Nov. 16, 2007. The last CHP officer shot in the Bay Area was on Jan. 20, 2010, when a robbery suspect wounded the officer at an Oakland Walgreens. The last fatal CHP shooting was Feb. 17, 2006, in Stanislaus County.
Outside John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek, dozens of CHP and police officers walked forlornly into the lobby to hold a vigil. Youngstrom had a large extended family, the CHP said, and relatives from Southern California arrived at the hospital throughout the day. Through Fontana, the family thanked their extended family and friends, the law enforcement and public safety communities, and the public for their support.
"We are family, and the community is part of that family as well," said an emotional CHP Sgt. Diana McDermott. "This is a situation where we all take an oath not to swerve from the path of duty. As you can imagine, it's difficult.
"You think about how tomorrow it may be my day or anyone else's," she said. " … That's true every day you send a mother, father, husband or wife out to represent and protect the rest of us. We're grateful for all the support we know we're getting from the communities we serve."
Police said the shooting happened around 8:20 a.m. near the Livorna Road offramp from southbound Interstate 680 when two patrol cars pulled the jeep over for an unknown reason. One officer parked in front, while the second officer stopped behind the jeep, Lee said. The first officer approached the driver from the front on the driver's side door when the man, alone in his Jeep, fired a gun from his seat, Lee said. Moments later, the second officer approached from the rear passenger side and shot the man an unknown number of times, Lee said.
He returned to his car to radio in "officer down" as shocked motorists who witnessed the shooting phoned 911 for a fallen officer, Lee said.
Anthony Ribera, former San Francisco police chief and director of USF's International Institute of Criminal Justice Leadership, said he was surprised when he heard the officer's squad car parked in front of the driver's jeep along the roadside.
"I have never heard of that procedure. I'm at a loss; I've never heard of that," he said. "Felony stops are pretty clear that you pull up behind and leave some space behind for safety reasons."
Ribera cautioned that there could have been extenuating circumstances.
"I could speculate that perhaps they thought he would try and get away," he said.
The driver did not have any outstanding warrants.
Investigators said it was too early in the investigation to explain in detail the sequence of events but said they would review video recorded from the police dashboard camera.
Police earlier thought a second suspect may have been involved, but that person, driving a Nissan Maxima, was found, interviewed and cleared. Ribera said law enforcement officials often must combat tendencies to lower their guard when responding to seemingly innocuous calls, such as traffic stops.
"One would think more officers get shot by bank robbers than routine traffic stops, but officers are on extremely high alert when they are responding to a bank robbery where all their training comes into play," he said. "(Traffic stops) can become kind of routine, where an officer might not put up all his defense mechanisms."
The investigation into the shooting is being led by the Sheriff's office and District Attorney's Office, which is standard procedure for any officer-involved shooting that occurs in Contra Costa County.

Short answer:
q)phandle: hopen `:serverhost:5012 q)phandle (function; arg1; arg2 ..) .. q)hclose phandle q)
To invoke a function in another q process (i.e., a function that already exists in that q process), you need the following:
- a process handle to the other q process,
- the name of the pre-existing function in the other process, and
- the parameters you want to pass.
Then all you need to do is to apply the process handle to a list whose first element is the function name (as a symbol) and whose remaining elements are the arguments.
For example, let's start one q process, which will be our server, listening on TCP port 5012. In our server, we'll define a function square (we'll make the background color different for the server to make it easier to distinguish from the client):
$ q -p 5012 // server .. q)\p // display the listening port 5012 q)square: {x * x} q)square 3 9 q)
Next, we'll start up another q process (the client), create a process handle connected to the first q process (the server), and request the first process to compute square 5:
$ q // client .. q)phandle: hopen `:localhost:5012 q)phandle (`square; 5) // remote execution 25 q)
To call a function with more parameters, simply add them to the end of the list. We'll demonstrate by defining a 2-argument function on the server that calculates the length of a right triangle's hypotenuse:
q)hypotenuse: {sqrt sum square x,y} q)hypotenuse[3;4] 5f q)
q)phandle (`hypotenuse; 5; 12) 13f q)
What if the function you're calling doesn't take any parameters? For example, we'll define a function in the server called serverTime that returns the local time according to the server:
q)serverTime: {[] .z.T} q)serverTime[] 11:51:34.762 q)
You can't pass zero parameters over IPC:
q)phandle enlist `serverTime // a list with just 'length // the function name q) // is not allowed
However, you can pass whatever you like, and it won't matter:
q)phandle `serverTime`ignored 11:52:28.537 q)phandle (`serverTime; ()) // () is often used 11:52:40.923 q)phandle (`serverTime; ::) // so is :: 11:52:47.338 q)
See :: (generic null).
So far, all of our examples involved a client invoking a predefined function on the server. You can also pass a function defined on the client to be executed on the server. To see this, let's define a global variable on the server:
q)SERVERGLOBAL: 47 q)
Now, on the client, we'll define a function called getSERVERGLOBAL to retrieve the value of SERVERGLOBAL on the server. Instead of passing the name of the function (i.e., `getSERVERGLOBAL), we pass the function's value:
q)getSERVERGLOBAL: {[] SERVERGLOBAL} q)getSERVERGLOBAL[] 'SERVERGLOBAL // not defined here q)phandle (getSERVERGLOBAL; ::) // note the missing ` 47 q)
Notice that this operation does not cause getSERVERGLOBAL to become defined on the server:
q)getSERVERGLOBAL 'getSERVERGLOBAL q)
This technique can be used to run built-in functions and anonymous functions (aka lambdas) on the server as well:
q)phandle (+; 2; 4) 6 q)phandle ({til SERVERGLOBAL - x}; 42) 0 1 2 3 4 q)
There is one more way to convey code to the server to run: you can pass the code in a string.
q)phandle "SERVERGLOBAL + 4" 51 q)
We prefer passing a function over a string, because – especially as the expression to be passed gets more complex – it's easier to read.

This super-slim bezel measures just 7.3mm at its narrowest point, giving ZenBook Pro an incredible 83% screen-to-body ratio. To create this amazing display, ASUS engineers had to overcome many technical challenges. For example, the best place for the camera is at the top of the display: but some rival thin-bezel designs make this impossible, meaning the camera has to be moved to an awkward location below the screen. For ZenBook Pro we managed to solve the problem, to ensure that the camera sits in in its traditional position despite the thinner bezel. Support ASUS Pen ZenBook Pro supports the ASUS Pen, so you can let your creativity flow. ASUS Pen can detect even the most minute pressure variations — in 1,024 steps from 10g all the way up to 300g. It also exceeds the industry accuracy standard, so you can hold it at angles of up to 45° without affecting the quality and placement of the lines you draw. With ASUS Pen — or other active stylus — you can jot down your thoughts, annotate diagrams or sketch out your creative ideas in an intuitive way with a natural, responsive feel. Full HD Resolution More detail, more natural colors With an astonishing resolution of 3840 by 2160 pixels — the Full HD NanoEdge display is something to behold. We've engineered 282 pixels into every single inch of the screen to make sure that everything is pin-sharp — from the finest details in photos and videos to the tiniest text. The ultra-wide 100% sRGB and 72% NTSC color gamut of the display produces incredibly natural-looking colors, and 178° wide-view technology ensures a perfect picture even at acute viewing angles.

Idaho Medicaid has been meeting with stakeholders since 2004 to address needed reforms in the benefits and delivery system for behavioral health services. On September 1, 2013, Idaho Medicaid implemented the Idaho Behavioral Health Plan (IBHP). United Behavioral Health (dba Optum Idaho) was selected to administer the plan using a managed care approach. This approach allows Idaho to develop an accountable care system to improve health outcomes. Optum is nationally accredited by the National Council on Quality Assurance (NCQA) which puts Optum in position to create a higher standard of care for the Medicaid population.
The IBHP represents a huge step forward in the transformation of the behavioral health care system in Idaho by:
The IBHP provides services for children with serious emotional disturbance and adults with serious mental illness or serious and persistent mental illness as well as any adults or children who manifest symptoms indicative of behavioral health issues. Members are still able to choose their provider within the Optum network.
Optum's care managers are actively engaged with providers, members and other stakeholders throughout Idaho to ensure that patients receive the right care at the right time. Optum offers a 24/7 Member phone line so Members have access to a care manager whenever needed. The Member phone number is: (855) 202-0973 (toll-free). Providers also have access to Optum's care managers during regular business hours. The provider phone number is: (855) 202-0983.
For more information regarding the IBHP, please visit the Optum website. The website has pages dedicated to Members, Providers, PCPs, and other stakeholders.
The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare is committed to working with Optum and community stakeholders. The Department built specific metrics into the contract that align with state and federal rules which Optum must comply with. Dashboard metrics are available and updated regularly.
Below are the two documents that represent the most relevant components of the contract between the Department of Health and Welfare and Optum. The full legal document has hundreds of files. For access to the entire contract, please make a public records request to the Department of Administration, Division of Purchasing.

PORTSMOUTH — From April 26 to May 12, Pontine Theatre will premiere "The Common Heart: A Transcendental Revue," at their West End Studio Theatre, 959 Islington St. This work explores the legacy of the New England Transcendental Movement. Drawing on works by Emerson, Hawthorne, Thoreau, and other denizens of Concord, Mass. during the 1830s and 40s. Performances are Fridays at 8 p.m., Saturdays at 4 p.m., and Sundays at 2 p.m. There is an additional 8 p.m. performance scheduled for Saturday 27 April. Tickets are $24 and may be purchased online: www.pontine.org.
The 1836 publication of Ralph Waldo Emerson's essay, Nature, brought national attention to a singularly American school of philosophy centered in Boston and Concord MA. Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Bronson Alcott, and Nathaniel Hawthorne, along with other intellectuals, became known as leaders of "The Newness." The members of that movement, now known as "Transcendentalism," refuted New England's Puritan roots and looked to nature as the foundation of a more personal connection with spirituality.
The Common Heart tells the story of the rich literary history of Concord. Its most famous resident, Ralph Waldo Emerson was at the center of a group of like-minded Transcendentalists including Nathaniel Hawthorne, Bronson Alcott (father of Louisa May Alcott), and Henry David Thoreau. This collection of literary talent in one small town led Henry James to dub Concord "the biggest little place in America."
The Common Heart also tells the touching stories of the two utopian communities which were founded upon the ideals of the Transcendentalists: Brook Farm and Fruitlands.
In 1841 George Ripley, a former Unitarian minister established Brook Farm, in West Roxbury, Mass. Nathaniel Hawthorne was one of the founding members. Brook Farm was an object of interest throughout its existence. It was visited by a host of fellow transcendentalists and general curiosity-seekers. Despite its popularity, Brook Farm was unable to sustain itself financially. In 1846, they launched a building expansion and when a fire destroyed their new building, the association ended. As the members dispersed, they recalled how happy their lives had been at Brook Farm and they ached for those halcyon days:
In some of our hearts awoke a yearning for one more meeting at the old place; and so we gathered the people from far and near for one more good time, for one more communion. With what pleasure I recall those few hours. How happy we were!
Fruitlands, located in Harvard, Mass., was established by Bronson Alcott, father of the famous author. Louisa May Alcott was eleven years of age when her family moved to the newly created association. Here were gathered men and women who based their hopes of reforming the world on dress and on diet. They revived the monkish notions of asceticism.
The Fruitland farmers lacked practical experience, however, and their efforts were sorely lacking. They failed to fill their stores and were totally unprepared to face a New England winter. When cold weather arrived the Fruitlanders were forced to abandon their dream.
Despite these failures in practical application, the ideas of the Transcendentalists continue to inspire readers and thinkers. They speak to many concerns that are at the forefront of current social debate: environmentalism, industrialization, and capitalism, to name but a few.
The transcendentalists celebrated the American experiment of individualism and self-reliance. They took progressive stands on women's rights, abolition, reform, and education. They criticized government, organized religion, social institutions, and industrialization. They honored the American "state of mind" through their faith that all would be well because humans could transcend limits and reach astonishing heights.
The Common Heart: A Transcendental Revue includes storytelling, projected images, toy theater figures, lyrical movement and music to tell the story of the Transcendentalists. The text is drawn entirely from primary historical sources including the writings of Alcott, Emerson, Hawthorne, Ripley, and Thoreau. Co-Director, Greg Gathers, created the sets and props for this original two-person production which also features Pontine Co-Director, M Marguerite Mathews.
Serving audiences since 1977, Pontine Theatre has developed a sterling reputation for high-quality performances and educational programs. With an impressive repertoire of innovative, original productions, the company serves audiences both in its hometown, Portsmouth, and throughout New England. Pontine has become well known for a group of critically acclaimed productions which reflect the history and culture of New England.

Platinum Dunes always reminds me of a cheesy porn company name. Then it reminds me of Michael Bay. Then it reminds me of how much of a prick Michael Bay is. Then it reminds me that "Bad Boys" 1 and 2 are pretty awesome so he isn't all bad. Then it reminds me that I'm suppose to be talking about "Almanac", a new time travel found footage flick that the Dune boys are going to be producing. Then it reminds me that sometimes I ramble on about nothing at all. I like jelly beans.
If you've seen the trailer for "The Purge" then you're probably just as giddy with excitement as I am. Unless you're some sort of jerk who doesn't enjoy watching a movie about a family trying to survive the one night a year when there are no laws. See how I worked in the plot there? Well you're going to have to wait an extra week because the film's release date has been pushed from May 31st to June 7th. That should give you an extra week to try to fit into that new swimsuit you just bought. Oh you, you look good in everything.
Gemma Arterton and Anna Kendrick have both been added to the cast of "The Voices", a new supernatural flick staring Ryan Reynolds. In the film Reynolds plays a factory worker who accidentally kills an attractive woman and starts to take advice on how to cover his tracks from his cat and dog. Wait no that can't be right. Alright who slipped me peyote again!?
"Hatchet 3" is set to hit DVD and Blu-Ray on August 13. We're three films in, I've run out of sarcastic comments to make about these movies. Just make up your own from now on.
We're just a little over a week away from the premiere of "American Horror Story" on FX and I'm not going to lie I'm a little bit excited. Well, let's say I'm as excited as I can get after seeing the new artwork for the show, which looks like a mix between the Russian Circus and a Nine Inch Nails concert from 20 years ago. Ya know... classy, in a rubber suit sort of way.
Tobias Segal, who I don't know but hate because his name is Tobias, has joined Ryan Reynolds , Kevin Bacon and Jeff Bridges in the cast of "R.I.P.D.", a new flick that follows two undead cops trying to solve the case of a serial killer. No word yet as to what Tobias will be playing in the film but based on name a lone I'm guessing a chimney sweep or a paper boy with a heart of gold.
Maybe I'm losing my edge but I think "Paranormal Activity 3" might be kind of good. The trailer creeped me out and today there's a clip from the film that equality creeped me out. The entire clip also takes place on a giant flat screen TV so if you listen to podcast will know that fact will drive Eric insane, which is nice. Maybe I'm just focusing my anger on those around me rather than some director in Hollywood I've never met. Let's explore each other.
The creators of "Six Degrees of Hell" are calling it next year's scariest movie and today we know why because of a new teaser. Why is the new haunted house flick so frightening? Well because Cory Feldman is in it and it and it looks like they bleached his hair for the role and as we all know that can do some serious damage to your roots. Permanent root damage is the most frightening thing in the world!

Lady Gaga Rocks Out to 'Swine' at iTunes Festival Live Rehearsal [VIDEO]
Lady Gaga shared footage of her live rehearsals for the iTunes Wireless Festival, set to take place in London this weekend. Her show, called SwineFest, will be live streamed at 4PM ET on Sunday, Sept. 1.
Gaga previewed the new song 'Swine,' which sounds like a rocker to us! She's indulging that rock side, which she learned from her dad, Joe Germanotta, who loves that genre.
In this minute-long clip Gaga boasts long and shiny brown hair and is playing her keyboard and drums, rocking out while she rehearses. Ma Monster has a real fire in her belly and she plays like there is some sort of unseen force inhabiting her body as she flails about.
She's barefoot, wearing black leggings and a white tee, banging her head and grooving. This is certainly a new sound, as she sings, "You're just a pig inside a human body." Ouch.
Gaga looks like a woman possessed as she bounces around and isn't afraid to make ugly faces, either. Did someone give her some Red Bull before she began her rehearsal? We sorta dig seeing her in "street" clothes, too. Nothing gets in the way of her performance when she dresses down.

Updated at 9:53 p.m. ET: Police looking for two suspects who broke into a Boise, Idaho zoo and fatally beat a monkey have a clue: a light gray cap near where the monkey was found.
The hat is emblazoned with a white skull surrounded by swirly drawing and the logo "M L" written on the skull's forehead.
A security guard told officers he spotted two males in dark clothing, one inside the zoo grounds and the other outside the fence near the primate exhibit. When the suspects saw the guard, they ran.
Police searched the 11-acre zoo, including one sweep with a thermal imager, but did not find the suspects.
During the search, officers and zoo employees found a Patas monkey lying next to the perimeter fence near the primate exhibit where the suspects were last seen. The monkey appeared to have a head injury and died a short time later.
When they were searching for the offender, Burns said they heard a groan, the Idaho Statesman reported. It was unclear whether the groan came from a human or a monkey, he said.
The monkey shared a cage with another male monkey that was not harmed, according to the Statesman.
Detectives collected blood evidence at the scene that's being tested to determine if it's blood from the monkey or a human.
"It's very disturbing that someone would intentionally break into the zoo and harm an animal. We're doing all we can to find who did this." said Sgt. Ted Snyder of the Boise Police Department.

"Everybody here at the zoo is devastated," zoo Director Steve Burns said in a statement.
"It's sad to have to tell kids that one of their favorite animals is gone."
A veterinarian is conducting a necropsy of the monkey to determine the cause of death. All the other zoo animals were accounted for and uninjured.
Patas monkeys are ground-dwelling animals from the plains of Africa. At 2 ½ feet, they typically weigh 35 pounds, according to a zoo statement.
Patas monkeys are rare in zoos but are not endangered in the wild, says Burns. There is one remaining male Patas monkey at the zoo. Both of the animals came to Zoo Boise three years ago from the Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa Bay, Fla.
"Because monkeys are social animals we are concerned about the welfare of the remaining animal," said Burns. The zoo will explore opportunities to replace the monkey or move the remaining animal to another zoo.
